CheckBox required on form?

[cdoyle]

I have a form, and we need to have a checkbox that the user is required to
check. Basically saying they read the disclaimer.

Is there a way to make a checkbox a required field on a form? I've been
searching and everything I see, seem to exclude checkboxes.

So thought I would ask, and make sure.

Thanks
Chris.

I'm guessing it's not possible?

Anyone have a better solution to do what I need?

one option is to verify the checkbox is selected before the form is
submitted using JS (checked property = true)

Thanks,
Would you happen to know of any JS's off hand?

I tried looking for one before posting here, but all the ones I found, for
some reason wouldn't work witha checkbox. Not sure why, or if I just didn't
do something right. They would work with text boxes, and even radio buttons,
but not a checkbox.

Found one that works,
for anyone else looking for one.

Thanks A MILLION for the link. I have been struggling with this for about 4 hours until I found your post! You're a life saver!
